Off-Roading

Who has interests in off-roading on sythe? Just wondering if anyone has any off-road vehicles etc.

I own a 1995 Toyota Hilux Surf, which I'm currently breaking for parts. I'm hoping once I've sold everything but the body to have the time and funds to be able to make it a bobtail, running it on portal axles and a quality engine, the 3.0l engine that was in it wasn't my favourite.

Severe Rust issues on the bumpers, but that's because someone dropped something on the roof and I let it rot for a while.

Nice little project you've got there IDB. Hope it works out well for you.

 

Farmer car!

Any discussion value for off-roading with bikes/quads here? Or is this strictly cars only?

 

Feel free to talk about quads/bikes also, they're just as fun. I sold my quad not long ago but I'll post a pic of one of my bikes and some more pics of the truck tomorrow!

 

used to do some light offroading and mudding in my old '05 dodge ram 1500 4x4, which was pretty fuckin kickass in the mud for a stock truck.

i ended up selling it for a 2005 gmc sierra denali, AWD, real nice to drive in tha winter but she's too nice to take into the mud or anything kind of offroading. currently looking into trading for an 06 sierra with a 6.6L duramax turbo diesel engine, and then i'll probably beef that nigga up with big ass tires and a lift and do some mad mudding in it.

also tryna buy a snowmobile to go sledding in, if you count that as off roading

 

I used to do a bit of 4x4 here and there with some of my older vehicles, with school and now owning a car I haven't been able to.







(My oldest beater. :'( )

 

I went offroading with my dad a couple years ago in PA in his 1981 Mazda RX-7 (rotary engine). It was a lot of fun and I'd love to get into it move, but I'd have no room for a car in NYC unfortunately.

 

I go off-roading in my dads 1996 Jimmy, it has a nice set of mud tires similar to this one in the picture below. (Not exact same but close enough)



I also have a 2003 KX 250 Dirt bike.

This is my friends truck that we take mudding/hunting, he has $30,000+ put into it lawl.

 

ugh I really want a dodge ram but you can't get them in england cheap

Anyone got a SRT-10 ram? If so, fuck you.

 

my dad used to own one, never seen somethin able to shred tires like that thing. rwd, regular cab, 6 speed, 500+ hp. he daily drove it one winter, damn did he ever get hella sideways in that thing. told me sold it cause the amount he paid per week in fuel wasnt as cool as the truck. 8 mpg niggaaaaaaaaa

ill see if i can cop a pic for ya next time i come thru his joint



also @zippy, is that a 5.9L cummins?

 

It sure is, his brother has the same one in black.
His family owns a big successful farm so they make bank.

 

I owned toyota land cruiser 2012 sold it 4 months ago, and now planning to get an FJ toyota coz toyota land cruiser is too expensive to go offroad with.. FJ is okay with offroading even lighter.

My best off-roading experience is with Cherokee 2001 the weight is light as fuck and i offroad in desert "hence im from kuwait" so i never get stuck in the sand or anything i just flow over the desert ;3

 

Cherokee's aren't bad off-roaders anyways. The annoying thing in england is that big american trucks that have raw power are extremely expensive as you can only buy them from people who import them, not directly from the dealerships.

 

That sucks.. you dont need big power and all that to have fun off roading though. Some of the most fun ive had in in a late 80s toyota 4 banger 4x4. Pull MUCH bigger trucks out with that little thing.
